Gorey Dogs

Earlier this evening, I went into the closet to retrieve the God's Eyes that I had made several years ago so that I can use them for gift tags for this Christmas when I found the boxes of yuletide holiday greetings that I purchased in January on clearance at Barnes & Nobles. So I have 54 of these: which would normally cost $42, but which I purchased for $3.00 (cuz I thrift and nifty like that). I love the elegant simplicity of the winter pirouette by Doug Garrabrants with the all encompassing message of "wishing you a happy holiday season".

I also added a box of Edward Gorey's Yule Dogs to my acquisitions for a buck. There are four different choices, as pictured below. Guess which is my fav! I adore Gorey's work as seen at this site. Check it!

Debs, Thanks for your very insightful comments in my journal. I always think of you and hope this holiday finds you in good spirits. Your cards are fabulous. I love them all. Do you ever read the New Yorker cartoons? I love them, esp. the ones with animals. Anne
